You'll love the sedative. As for the day before, I hear you can have Haagen Daas mango sorbet. You ought to verify if that's true, and if it is, pick up a pint or two.
A decade or so ago I had to have a bronchoscopy. As I was coming back around from the twilight drugs I saw a horrible image on the computer monitor. "Oh my God," I declared, "is that my lung?." "No," the nurse replied, "that's the last guy's colon. We just hadn't cleared the screen yet."

Just had a steak dinner. Food never tasted so good. Can't wait to fire up the red wine tomorrow night. Life is good.

I debut with Ms. Couric next month. Can't wait. I was sure to schedule it very early in the morning, so I wouldn't go too long without food.

Alas, there are some things medicine can't do.

Yuck. That's even worse than 12 years of the Bushes running the country. (But not much worse.)

Your ego must be pretty large to think we care about this, Jack.
